Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a), ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), and Austrian DSB Decision (DSB-D155.027, 2022). Analytics trackers process personal data such as IP addresses and browsing behaviour. The Austrian Data Protection Authority ruled in January 2022 that Google Analytics use without consent violates GDPR, as data is transferred to the US without adequate safeguards. The ePrivacy Directive requires prior consent for accessing information on a user's device unless strictly necessary.
✓ No tracking cookies detected before consent. 2 essential/functional cookies were found, which are exempt under legitimate interest.
salzburgresearch.at has minor GDPR compliance issues. While 2 violations were detected, these are typically low-severity items such as external font loading or empty tag containers.
Under GDPR, even minor violations can attract regulatory attention, particularly in jurisdictions with active data protection authorities such as France (CNIL), Ireland (DPC), and Austria (DSB). Addressing these issues proactively reduces legal risk.
This GDPR compliance scan of salzburgresearch.at was performed by GDPR Scanner, a pre-consent privacy scanning tool. The scan captures all trackers, cookies, and third-party scripts that load before a user clicks any consent button.
Under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), websites must obtain explicit consent before processing personal data. Any tracker or cookie that fires before consent is a potential violation of EU privacy law.
A privacy score of 100/100 means the website loads zero trackers and zero tracking cookies before the user gives consent. This is the standard required by GDPR Article 5(1)(a) and Article 7.
Essential cookies (session management, security tokens) and first-party functional cookies do not incur penalties, as they are covered by the legitimate interest legal basis. See an example: playhth.com scores 100/100.
The ePrivacy Directive requires consent for all non-essential device access. Even low-severity items like external fonts transfer visitor IP addresses to third-party servers without consent.
